First day back to church!

Today we decided to take the crew back to church. Patrick needed to mow granny Dunks yard so I got everyone dressed while he was gone.

Fast forward two hours...everyone is dressed and daddy is running late. I decided to take them all alone. Sounded good at the time. Haha. Elizabeth met us at the car and got the boys out. The boys stayed in the nursery and even got to go outside to play.

Charlie and I made it through half of church before she was hungry. Of course she wouldn't take her bottle...too easy. We went into the nursery and played with the boys until church was over.

The church we started attending is a perfect fit for the family. Its small and very focused on family and those relationships. Something we need. Very excited to try again next week WITH DADDY!

The four letter word

Ricky is a talker but he is still doesn't pronounce hid words very clearly. Daddy was sitting on the couch, Reese spilled a drink it, daddy spilled the big f-bomb. You get the idea. My beautiful little boy then repeated it...perfectly. I've never heard him pronounce something that clear. Parenting fail...and it was daddy this time. Lets hope he forgets the word before we return to church next week. ;)

My priness is one month old today!

Charlie made her appearance in this world a month ago today! Its been a month of very little sleep for mommy but so much love! She is a very cuddly baby. Yesterday she started smiling with purpose and it can melt your heart. I still can't believe she's mine!

First walk with the family!

Yesterday was exactly 4 weeks since we had Charlie. I've been dying to go walking and get out of this house..plus I have 100 lbs to lose so when Patrick got home we went. I was really slow but it felt nice! The kids got to play in the park for a little bit before we headed back. Hoping we can walk at.least three times a week as a family. ;)

4 weeks today!

Four weeks ago today I had my precious baby girl. Its gone by incredibly fast!

The boys are really great with her. Reese offers her his milk, toys and food. Ricky talks about her often but is a little more jealous than Reese. I'm sure he will come around when she can move a little.

Cameron and Zoe love her. They are amazing older siblings to all the babies. I'm very proud of that.

Mommy is getting very little sleep at this point. Last night was really great though. Slept from 12-2 then I woke daddy up at 5..slept from 5 to 6:30 then 7 to 8:30! I'll take it! I'm still exclusively breastfeeding which is kicking my booty! I love being Charlie's favorite but not loving that I can't move from the couch. I heard it should all get easier within the next month or so.

Patrick and I have decided to work on losing weight together which I'm very excited about. I have a goal of 80 and he wants to lose 40. We ate starting with myfitnesspal.com and if I don't like it I will switch to weight watchers. The breastfeeding is helping already!

Its been an amazing 4 weeks. I'm so in love with this little princess. ;)

Ricky tells daddy what he thinks of him...


My little sweet Ricky that is a man of few words was getting a little crazy with us.... then he said this

 
"GO AWAY DADA, GO AWAY"
 
 
I haven't laughed that hard in awhile! Ricky doesn't use sentences yet but he somehow perfectly pieced this one together. Ahhh, the joys of motherhood! He later decided to tell Zoe the same ;-)

Zoe's Bday Party!

Zoe turned 9 on August 30th!! I can't believe we have had her for two years! Her grandparents and Aunt Erica, Uncle Aaron and cousins all came over to share cake, ice cream and play! She had a really fun time! She even got to sneak away with Aunt Erica and I to target for a mini shopping trip! ;-)
